Tambien, no estoy segura si usted sepa que Buffalo y Niagra Falls son muy lejos al norte de la ciudad de Nueva York...casi 8 horas por coche. Las Cascadas de Niagra son magnificos, entonces si usted puede ir al verlas, pienso que debe ir.

No hay problemas con su ingles, solamente que queria practicar mi espanol... :D

Ah...se me olvido...cual es la fecha de julio cuando va a llegar? Hay muchas celebraciones al 4 de julio con muchos fuegos artificiales..es el cumpleanos de nuestra pais. Si usted puede estar en Washington DC al 4 de julio, sera muy interestante y divertido....pero otras ciudades van a celebrar tambien...

It will be hot and humid in July on the east coast. 80's to 90's every day ( fahrenheit) West coast will be hot but not as humid. Even though your stay is brief, consider joining the AAA ( American Automobile Assoc) aaa.com. For about $42 per year you can get free maps, tour books ( which cover all states and big cities with ideas of what to go see, how much to get in , where they are etc) plus you gan get free towing ( up to 3 miles) and free lockout service.

Drving around in the big cities can be intimidating, a GOOD map really helps.

While you're in San Francisco be sure to see Lombard Street (crookedest street) and eat at PJ's Oyster Bed...as for the police supply store, Butlers on 9th Street has a fair amount of goods.

I was just in Niagara Falls yesterday - what a friggin' tourist trap!!!
A few things I discovered:
You can't park your car anywhere for free, unless your hotel allows it. Parking is wicked expensive, plus they don't have enough spaces even if you are willing to pay. Try to avoid getting a hotel room in Niagara Falls or closeby there -- they are expensive. We just got a hotel room at the Marriott Courtyard - king bed, view of the falls from the window, and a jacuzzi -- for $77/night.
Go to the IMAX theatre -- they have the most amazing movie on Niagara. Also go on the "Maid of the Mist" - the boat that takes you on the water so you are literally 10 feet away from where the Falls hit the water below.
If you are into american baseball, Cooperstown houses the Baseball Hall of Fame - and that is on your way from NY --> Niagara Falls.

What kinds of things are you interested in? Philadelphia is close to NYC, also Atlantic City....
